This review is from: Beginning Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition: From Novice to Professional (Beginning: From Novice to Professional) (Paperback)

Finally the right book to get me into the world of object oriented programming! (in addition to VB 2005 Express) The small examples are easy to digest and the writing style is down to the point. I especially appreciate the author's pointing out few things Microsoft did which make VB 2005 Express different from traditional OOP and advising the traditional alternatives. This will help me get into Java later. The only fault I can find is that I can't find errata webpage in Apress website. However, a 5-star book nonetheless. Thanks Mr. Wright.
